On my last backpacking trip I decided to test Off with 25% DEET and Cutter\'s 30% Lemon Eucalyptus insect repellent. The bugs were biting, mosquitoes and all types of flies. I sprayed one half of my body with one brand and the other half with the other. I found both to do the job, but the DEET still allowed the mosquito to land on the skin, then it would leave without biting. As opposed to the Cutter\'s that seemed to not be of any interest at all and the bugs stayed quite a ways away.

Bug spray headlight restoration. This is a video to show you how bug spray with DEET, can clean and restore headlights by removing oxidation, haze, and yellowing plastic. Hopefully this clears things up and shows you the truth behind using bug spray to restore headlights!
The problem with the bug spray is that it doesnt last and it will damage your headlights and can damage your paint and trim. I go into why the OFF Deep Woods bug spray works, how it can damage your paint, and if you do want to try it, how to apply it to reduce the chances of any damage. I do not recommend using this method to clear up your headlights, instead I recommend using toothpaste which will not damage your headlights or the surrounding trim/paint.
Here is the BEST method to use to make your headlights permanently clear! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEJbKLZ7RmM
